Above The Sky

The energy level of the sublime comes from the myth of Gutera, where the heavenly father created the boundless world in seven steps, and hung the sun, moon and stars on the ladder.

Every time one climbs up an energy level, the sublimator will undergo a qualitative change. Each step up is a different landscape.

The fifth energy level, compared to ordinary people, has been qualitatively transformed and sublimated five times. No matter what aspect it is, it can be called a true superman, and it is a legend walking on the earth.

Most of the inheritance on the Terra Continent can make the sublime change two or three times, and it is considered rare, not to mention the fifth energy level?

That's a real secret, a priceless treasure.

And the sublimator of that energy level may really be as the name suggests, just his own existence can be equivalent to an unshakable fortress, a fortress that will never fall.

When Hilliard uttered the word 'immovable fortress', Ian even felt that he really saw a majestic mountain standing tall and motionless in the storm, no matter what kind of natural disaster storm, what kind of stormy sea, or even the Earthquakes and tsunamis can't shake it.

That is the power that belongs to the true form of the most powerful guardian system.

"Of course, it's too early for you now, even if you want to practice, you should start from the elementary 'Sand Armor Apprentice', and then follow the route of 'Rock Casting Knight' and 'Stone Lord' step by step. stage."

"However, even the first 'sand armor apprentice' can control the sand and turn it into armor, split the rock with bare hands, ignore most of the attacks of swords, spears, and axes, and even hide in the soil with their breath. Slowing down the fluctuation of life, not eating or drinking for more than ten days will not affect physical strength."

Speaking slowly, Hilliard put his hand on Ian's chest: "This is the Ascendant - the power you will have in the future."

The boy did not run away.

He keenly sensed that a heat current that he couldn't ignore rose from the old knight's palm.

Ian subconsciously opened the 'precognition horizon'.

In the world that instantly became hazy, he saw that Hilliard's palm, with a halo of golden mist flowing all over his body, condensed a pale golden phantom sphere.

It flows, swirls, and emits heat like a flame, even the sun.

Then, pour into your own body.

Ian stared attentively, the moment the golden ball entered his body, he noticed that his chest and heart suddenly became hot and hot, and a heat flow that seemed to be rushing from the stove poured in from the contact between the two bodies, followed by Heartbeat swept through the body.

He felt that the muscles, blood vessels, bones, and even internal organs in his body had become very clear, and he could clearly know where the blood flowed with each beating of the heart.

But it was only for a moment.

"There is no problem with the internal organs. All functions are normal. You and your cells are very hungry. It seems that you will need to prepare more food to replenish your body in the future."

Withdrawing his hand, Hilliard groaned and raised Ian's hand, motioning for the boy to spread it out - Ian naturally did.

The old knight carefully observed his student's hands and motioned Ian to take off his coat. He carefully looked at the bruised areas on the boy's body, pressed and pinched the tendons and bones in some key areas, and asked Ian if it was painful or itchy, and if there was anything Special feeling, be sure to tell him.

Ian naturally told the truth.

"not bad."

After this detailed examination, Hilliard was very satisfied. He patted Ian on the shoulder and motioned for the other party to put on his clothes: "There are no dark wounds or distortions. Your body is very healthy, and your uncle's torture did not cause you to suffer. irreparable damage."

"It's just that you don't have any special bloodline and mutation. It's strange. According to your uncle's situation, your bones should be tougher. After all, he is a failed steel bone aberration, and you have successfully awakened psionic energy. Tempered bones at least have a bit of a foundation."

During inspection, he noticed that Ian's clothes had many holes, and the old knight shook his head slightly.

——It is really not easy to stay in such a family without permanent injuries.

At this moment, Ian suddenly said: "Teacher, what does it mean to have no distortion and dark wounds?"

"You can spend a lot less effort to recuperate and save time."

After hearing Ian's doubtful inquiry, Hilliard, who recovered, explained: "Not everyone can embark on the path of ascension. After the catastrophe, human blood is filled with distorted elements, the essence of life. Most of them were damaged.”

"Seriously, just like your uncle, the aberrations are obvious, even if the normal sublimation organs are cultivated by him, there may be malignant mutations - and ordinary people may not have tumors and abnormal limbs on the outside, but they have more organs in their bodies. Or there will be some variation.”

"If the source of life is damaged, it is difficult to go far even on the road to ascension. Therefore, even if most ordinary people are inherited, they will not be able to break through the second and third energy levels throughout their lives."

Reaching out his hand and patted Ian's shoulder, Hilliard smiled and said, "Of course, you don't have to worry, if you can awaken psionic energy, it proves that your life source is complete enough to cultivate to the third energy level without any problem. "

"I also checked just now. Your internal organs are healthy and there is no distortion. There is no problem in practicing my inheritance."

"Is that so..."

Feeling the teacher's gentle pat on the shoulders, Ian has thoughts in his heart.

Not to mention the new term 'disaster from the sky' that appeared again.

Congenital deformities, according to the earth, are undoubtedly genetic diseases, and in the world of Terra, the source of life is damaged.

Genes and life essence should be similar concepts, and people with severely damaged genes will only get the result of distortion if they forcibly sublimate their life essence.

"It's a bit like genetic adjustment." Ian thought to himself: "If the genes are not repaired, even those born with deformities will not be able to grow the correct genetic organ even if they undergo genetic adjustment."

His psionic awakening is essentially the fusion of the memories of the two worlds, which is not the same as most psionicists in the world of Terra... In other words, the fact that he can awaken psionic energy may not mean that his life source is complete. .

In particular, he has an uncle whose life source is severely damaged, which is a high-risk genetic disease population on Earth.

So he raised his head and asked Hilliard tentatively: "The source of life is damaged, can it be healed and made up?"

"Yes." Hilliard is not surprised that Ian asked this question. Most apprentices will ask this question when they know this, and he answered neatly: "But that requires very expensive repair surgery, or extremely rare repairs. It is said that there are some special cultivation methods that can gradually repair the damaged life essence, but these are not methods that ordinary people can use, and they consume countless resources and time.”

"Since you can awaken psionic energy, it proves that your aptitude is definitely upper-middle, psionicist and ascendant, you can take both paths."

"I understand."

Ian nodded flatly, raised his hand, watched his fist, clenched and loosened.

Looking at his small, white, thin wrist and fist, the boy raised his head and looked at Hilliard: "Teacher."

"When can I start the practice of Ascender?"

Hilliard looked at his student's expression.

He thought for a moment, then said slowly, "Now."

"Sublimator is not a profession, not a characteristic, nor a high-ranking status...Sublimator is a way of life."

"If you want to start the cultivation of the sublime, you can do it anytime."

The old knight's eyes became solemn at this moment, he stared into Ian's eyes, and said solemnly: "Ian, I know that you long for power, and you do need power - but you are only eight years old, you should understand that with your current Age, starting the practice of sublimation is really half the effort."

"It should be noted that even the imperial family can only officially embark on the road to ascension after puberty."

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with going early, but it's bound to be a long and hard road that's more difficult."

This sentence is meaningless. Hilliard is very aware of Ian's predicament - he is just disguised as the child's uncle, has his own mission, and will leave at an unknown time in the future, and at that time, Ian needs one of his own. Man takes care of himself and his brother.

Not to mention, there's the snooping of the Sequoia natives.

The loss of three hunters and a shaman this time, although the other party will not directly sneak into Harrison Harbor to assassinate, but will definitely keep an eye on Ian and try to take revenge.

Ian wanted power and needed power.

However, aside from this reason, Hilliard actually had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Young children cannot practice ascension practitioners. In addition to the need to constantly adapt to new body shapes and strengths, the capricious and impatient nature of young children is the most important thing.

No one thinks that an eight or nine-year-old child can stick to the boring exercise and meditation every day just to get used to the pain and control his thoughts.

But if it was Ian.

If this is just one night, kill three enemies, and still sleep peacefully in the child...

Hilliard thought he could.

Even... can do more.

--His Majesty.

Looking at Ian who seemed to be thinking, the old knight couldn't help muttering to himself: "Maybe it's just what you said."

"We can always believe."
